Time goes by so swiftly <br />that we barely have time to stop <br />and notice all of life's beauty. <br />Seasons change as quickly <br />as the tide. <br />People we know and love come and go <br />and we say our goodbyes. <br />We rarely have the time or thought to stop <br />and listen to life's beautiful song. <br />We grow older and wonder how and where <br />our life and youth have gone. <br />Our beauty fades as our souls <br />grow wiser. <br />Our bodies wrinkle and shrink as <br />our inner strength grows higher. <br />And when the end draws near <br />after this brief short life, <br />And we realize that we've let the beauty <br />go unappreciated into the night. <br />We'll know that happiness was here <br />all along. <br />If we had but stopped to listen <br />to the song.<br /><br />Crystal Bradley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-song-27/
